BURNED IN A THEATRE.-Fire broke out
on the stage of the Alcazar Theatre in Hud-

hour the entire business portion of the town
was in flames, while eleven persons had
persisted in the theatre. The charred re-
mains of nine people have been taken from
the ruins. The loss is fully half million
dollars. The Alcazar was variety theatre,
chiefly frequented by miners, and was one
of the resorts of unsavory repute associated
with the notorious dance houses OF the NIL
ming regions. Only small audience had
gathered when the fire broke out, and they
scrambled out in hurry. Several of the
actors. however. rushed upstairs to save

MONDAY EVENING, JULY II.

TIE DEMOCRATS of Veuango county,
Pennsylvania, are wise in their gehera''on'
And wisdom always tells, sooner or later
With them it has already told in the fact
that though in q republican district, for sew
er.l years past they have had democratic
representative in Congress. AT their recent
county convention they unanimously
adopted the following resolution:
That on the subject of revenue revision
and tariff reform we indorse as established
doctrines of the democratic party the de-
clarations contained in the last message OF
the President and the reports OF the iate
Secretary of the Treasury of the United
States aud we cordially approve the con-
duct of our Representative i'll Congress.
The declarations contained in the last
message of the President, the reports OF the
late Secretary of the Treasury, and the con-
duct of Mr. Scott, the Congressional repre-
sentative referred to, were all in favor OF a
strictly revenue, and opposed to a protective
tariff. The democrats of Nenango county,
Pennsylvania, are the poor men OF that
county, as those OF all the other counties OF
their State, and of all the other States are,
and they are wise enough to know that a
low tariff is the tariff for poor people, and
consequently for the vast majority of the
people of the country, inasmuch as it Is
demonstrated that while high tariff does
not cause higher wages, it does increase the
Drice of the prime necessaries OF lie, and
does restrict the foreign market for Amerl-
can produces. and therefore reduces the de
mand for and the price of American labor.
The democrats of the county referred to
live in manufacturing State, but they are
inst as well aware OF what is good for their
own welfare. as those Of Campbell county.
in this agricultural State, arc of what is
good for theirs.

In RICHMOND alone. since the first OF May,
there have been rendered in payment OF
State license taxes $50. SIG, while coupons to
the amount of so ,l9l have been left with
the treasurer for Identification. Of course
all tho latter will have to be received.
Nearly forty three thousand dollars in cou.
pons in one city alone since the first OF May
indicates pretty large deficit in the States
revenue from the license tax for the year.
And as the price of coupons has fallen, the
natural presumption is that their inflow liz
to the States treasury will be increased
rather than diminished. Evidently long
bonds for the just amount Of the debt, at q
low rate of interest, would have been better
than the present condition.

This shows that the Doctor is almost as
mad with the President, who never did him
any harm, as he is with the Pope, who has
lust communicated him for preaching the
unchristian doctrine that mans lot of
ground should be confscated without COM
pensatiop. 1t also shows that the Doctor is
not reliable, for nobody ever accused the
Pope of being deficient in sense, as he would
certainly be if what the Doctor says be true.
